Product details
200 TONS OF STEAM-POWERED ALIEN SUPER-TECH.
Three daring women with a thirst for adventure.
The railroads of Mars better raise that speed limit.
"★★★★★ OMG! It's BUFFY meets FIREFLY on Mars with trains. Awesome!"
- Barry J. Hutchison, bestselling author of SPACE TEAM
A NEW HOPE. A NEW WORLD.
EXCITEMENT. OPPORTUNITY. ADVENTURE.
For the colonists on a terraformed Mars in 2454, that was the promise.
For you though-Jess Flint, engineering prodigy and big-time dreamer-it is a promise unfulfilled. Excitement? Adventure? Somebody might be having 'em, but not in the one-horse-town you call home.
And then it happens.
In the depths of an abandoned alien junkyard, you stumble across the preserved hulk of legendary steam locomotive the Cannonball Express.
Your jaw hits the Martian floor. This is it! Your ticket out!
You rebuild the ancient loco, augmenting it with a hodgepodge of powerful alien super-tech.
Almost before you know it, you've found yourself a crew:
There's Sally, the town's glamorpuss, handy-with-her-fists saloon singer.
There's Vera, über-brainiac accountant-turned-adrenalin junkie.
Oh, and there's Dave. He's from Staines.
You drop an ad in the local paper -

Any Cargo

- and WHAM! You just climbed aboard a bullet train to adventure.
CANNONBALL EXPRESS
Let's Roll
Book 1 in Kit Kane's CANNONBALL EXPRESS series, Railroads of Mars is interplanetary adventure at full-throttle - a standalone sci-fi western, brimming with action, monsters, comedy, and thrills.
Resplendent in a trio of fresh-from-the-hardware-store overalls, Jess, Sally, and Vera stood in the mind-boggling immensity of the alien junkyard, staring up at what Jess had found there-at that steam-driven titan of rail locomotion. "Seven days," Jess said. "That's what we got. Granted, it ain't a lotta time, but the way I see it, we all pull together, we can do this. Not saying it'll be easy. Ya don't like axle grease, walk away now. Coal dust? Engine oil? See above. Is it a gamble? Sure. But this kinda gamble? It's the good kinda gamble, am I right?" The exhilaration in Sally and Vera's eyes was answer enough. "That's what I like to hear," Jess said, draping her arms around the denim-clad shoulders of her two best friends. "So step up then, ladies. Cos we just got ourselves into the Martian railroad business."
